Couldn't you just move it?

I would like to say "yes" but it could end up looking a bit commercial with two rooms and the same bed. Or, like you didn't want to pick out different furniture. It's a great bed though...maybe in a different wood?

If I had that many bedrooms all to myself, I would do two of them identically, but opposing orientations. That way I could switch rooms when I felt like pointing North instead of South :D

If you like it do it.....but I would do a totally different color scheme for the walls, bedding, etc...also use different night stands, dresser, etc.

Sorry you are having to deal with an inconsiderate neighbor. I hope they move soon.

If you like that bed, I would move it to the room of choice for now rather than buy a second one. Do you even need to have a bed in every bedroom or could you use the extra square footage for some other purpose that would enhance your day-to-day living?

You guys are great!

I dont want to move the bed, as I am hoping it will quiet it down so I can sleep there sometimes. There are 5 total bedrooms and I need a comfortable bed for guests to sleep on anyway. Of the 5 rooms, one is the master, one is for my parrots, one is an office, one is a guest. The last room I am in the process of cleaning out. I had been storing stuff in it, but I have it almost all cleared out now.

I dont think I need more than two beds. I would purchase the above bed, or a different one, and throw out my grandmo's old guest bed. It is pretty worn out. Having more than two beds might encourage too many visitors! LOL.

Have you tried sleeping with a white noise machine? You'd be amazed what noise it drowns out. If you already have one, get another and place between you and the window.

Sounds like you've got a good plan. It would be hard for me to give up the opportunity for variety in my decor, but I always say you should do what works best for you. So, if you love that bed and don't like any other one, then make your purchase and set up that back bedroom so you can get some uninterrupted sleep.

I don't see why you can't use the same bed in 2 different rooms, but I'd decorate the rooms differently, especially in terms of color.

Not a decor tip, but you might contact the local police on the non-emergency number and see if there is anything they can do about the car noise. It sounds as if the car was idling in the driveway for a long time--at 1:30 in the morning, there may be an ordinance that would prohibit that.

And check the local noise ordinances. My town restricts the decibel level of leaf blowers and you can't use them before 7 am, 8 am on weekends.

I feel your pain. Someone with a very loud motorcycle has moved into my neighborhood, and they like to arrive home between 1 and 2 am. None of the neighbors are happy.

Is there any way you could contact the landlord? I would also see how many of your neighbors are disturbed by this behavior.

We own various rental properties and noise has been an issue a few times.
I don't think it is unreasonable to expect quiet after a certain hour.

It's terrible that the neighbor's lifestyle has to impact yours in such a negative way. Keep us posted.

Where is the law that you can't use the same bed in two different rooms written?

We plan to have basically identical beds in the MBR and the guest room.

If he is leasing, let his landlord know he's disturbing the neighborhood.

And call the cops ... Ferraris are cool, and expensive, but deliberately making them noisy is not legal.

Thanks everyone! The last two nights have been quiet and I have been able to sleep. I am hoping this continues! If it does continue, I will contact the landlord and police. My father is an attorney in another state, and he said that if the noise doesnt abate, we will have an atty. send a letter also.

I dont think white noise will work. This is incredibly loud. A harley without its muffler does not even begin to compare to this noise level.

I just havent found any beds I like as much as the modern one. I think the price is reasonable considering that it is solid walnut. I will keep looking for another alternative though. I need a decent bed for guests anyway.

How often do you have other people in the master bedroom to notice that the guest bed is the same?

How many people would criticize you for your bedroom décor? How many people would know you have identical beds in two different bedrooms? I can't fathom that being a problem in MY life but to each his own.

LOL I think I am going to get the same bed. FIrst of all, I know it's comfortable. Second, I like the minimalist look, especially since the guest room is small.

So a few minutes ago, I see a truck pull up in front of my house and a guy in a red shirt sets up a valet stand! Complete with umbrella! I was just getting ready to march out there when someone else in a red shirt pulled up next to him. He reloaded it and drove off. Thank god he had the wrong block! This neighborhood is much more busy and loud than I ever would have anticipated.
